Applied Materials Momentum Fund

The semiconductor industry is growing, and with it, the opportunity to contribute to incredible advances in technology that will transform nearly every area of the economy over the coming decades.  

It’s only by bringing our unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences together that we can build more resilient teams and achieve the next breakthrough. Through initiatives like the Momentum Fund, Last Mile Education Fund and Applied Materials are collaborating to move the industry forward, accelerating access to opportunity and strengthening pathways for women engineers.  

Qualified students are eligible for funding to support their educational progress and help overcome unexpected financial obstacles. Momentum Fund recipients are given the opportunity to connect directly with Applied Materials and are encouraged to apply for full time and internship opportunities. 

This opportunity is available to all female students within four semesters of completing an undergraduate or master’s degree in engineering and related majors from across the U.S. who meet the eligibility criteria.
